I have decided to begin the series with one of the most complicated designs I have ever tried my hand at!

The feather is something I have dreaded for a long time! I decided to try it out for today! And after 3 hours of absolute fun, a lot of unpicking and about 6 episodes of F.R.I.E.N.D.S on DVD, this 18" x 18" piece was done!I used this tutorial by Diane Gaudynski on the FMQ Challenge on Sew Cal Gal's blog. She makes it look so doable!
